M3045S-E3/4W Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended storage temperature range for M3045S-E3/4W?
  The recommended storage temperature range for M3045S-E3/4W is -40°C to 125°C, as per Vishay's general guidelines for metal film resistors.
• Can I use M3045S-E3/4W in high-frequency applications?
  While M3045S-E3/4W is a metal film resistor, it's not specifically designed for high-frequency applications. For frequencies above 100 kHz, it's recommended to use a resistor with a higher frequency rating, such as a thin-film or thick-film resistor.
• How do I handle the M3045S-E3/4W during soldering to prevent damage?
  To prevent damage during soldering, ensure the resistor is exposed to a maximum temperature of 260°C for no more than 10 seconds. Use a soldering iron with a temperature range of 200°C to 240°C, and avoid applying excessive force or bending the leads.
• Is the M3045S-E3/4W suitable for automotive applications?
  While the M3045S-E3/4W meets the AEC-Q200 standard, it's essential to verify its suitability for specific automotive applications. Consult with Vishay's application engineers or review the device's PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) documentation to ensure compliance with your project's requirements.
• Can I use M3045S-E3/4W in humid or high-moisture environments?
  The M3045S-E3/4W has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1, which means it can withstand normal humidity levels. However, for applications in extremely humid or high-moisture environments, consider using a resistor with a higher MSL rating or applying additional protective measures, such as conformal coating.
